Recurring NotebookLM auth expiry. Failed 05-27 (same error) → recovered 05-28. Now failed again 06-03. Auth cookie expired. Check login mechanism.

Auth = Playwright storage_state.json (cookies). Test if session actually dead:

Confirmed: auth genuinely expired. Re-auth = Google OAuth, login wall — can't type creds myself. Check login flow options:

Login needs headed browser + Google creds = genuine auth wall. Recurs ~weekly (05-27, 06-03). Check task script for proactive auth-check feasibility:

Root cause clear: expired Google auth for NotebookLM. Single blocker = re-auth via VNC (login wall, can't type creds). Set up VNC login flow so Elmar just completes Google login. Check VNC up:
Luci
VNC up on :1. Launch login browser there in dedicated tmux session — Elmar completes Google login via VNC, I save by sending ENTER. Start it:
Luci
Login browser live in VNC (display :1), waiting for ENTER to save. Single blocker now: Elmar must complete the Google login via VNC. Genuine credential wall — can't type creds myself.

Luci
Blocked on Elmar — login browser is live in VNC waiting for Google sign-in. Will save + re-run brief once he confirms.
Recurrence noted (2nd weekly failure); offered to build a nightly pre-flight auth probe as follow-up.
